I understand, but I think that's an incorrect approach. When I say I approach people thinking about how much you have to offer them, and how dynamic you are, it's from a giving perspective.

You think "What do I have to offer, and how can I change this person's life with what I have to offer" instead of, "I'm more developed than this person, what can they offer me?"

I know what you mean when you say you come across many people who you don't feel are at your level of thinking. I think many people on this forum have the same problem. That's a side effect of being into personal development. You WILL be more advanced than most people you come across. But the knowledge of yourself that you do have can be used to improve everyone's life, and that's how you should approach.

Hope this helps!
